STOVE-LEG SUPPORT.

Application filed. December 23, 1928. Serial No. 156,427.

This inventon relates to a supporting device for the le s of stoves and other woes of furniture an especially to a devlce of this character which is vertically adjustable for levelling purposes.

The object of the present invention is to generally improve and simplify the con- I struction and operation of a device of the character described and particularly to provide a device of this character which is substantial in construction, neat in appearance and readily and uickly adjustable for levelling pur oses. he invention is shown by way of i lustration in the accompanying drawings, in which:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the same,

Figure 2 is a central vertical sectlon,

Figure 3 is a central vertical section showing the modified form of the stove-leg support.

Referring to the drawings, in detail and particularly Figures 1 and 2, it will be noted that the stove-leg support consists of a base section A and a telescoping cover section B. The base section consists of an upper supporting surface 2, an annular ring-shaped flange 3 and an outwardly projected annular base flange 4. The cover sectlon consists of a supporting surface 5, an annular circumferential vertical flange 6 and a rounded peri heral head 7 The two sections telescope wlth relation to each other as shown and they become vertically adjustable with relation to each other by inserting one or more filler discs such as indicated at 8. These discs are preferably constructed of cardboard or a like material and as such serve two functions, first that of vertically adjusting the cover section with relation to the base and secondly the function of a sound-deadening material to prevent transmission of sound.

The base and cover section ma be formed from aluminum or like materia by dies in a punch press or the like or the base section may be cast as shown at C in Figure 3, if desired. The respective parts may be painted attractively if desired to suit any color scheme or if constructed of aluminum or like material, they may be bufi'ed to present a polished bright surface. In any instance, a substantial structure is provided,

a neat sim 1e appearance is produced and levelling o a stove or like piece of furniture is readily accomplished by inserting or removing one or more filler discs indicated at 8. The annular bead indicated at 7 prevents displacement of the stove leg or like device with relation to the base or, in other words, limits the danger of the support slipping out from under the leg. It will, otherwise, be noted that all surfaces are round and smooth and as such ermits ready cleaning and eliminates catching or collection of dust and dirt. The filler discs as already stated are preferably constructed of a sound-deadening material, as this is of considerable importance as it deadens the transmission of sound. For instance, people living in upstairs flats are often careless in placing cooking utensils and the like on cooking stoves and such sounds are readily transmitted, but in this instance the sound is entirely deadened due to lack of transmitting qualities of the paper or material forming the filler discs.

The device is exceedingl simple in construction. The structure is so substantial that practically any article of furniture may be supported thereby all of the weight, is assumed by the sectlons 2 and 5 which, in turn, are carried by the annular vertical flange 3 and the strength is, furthermore, increased by the inter-position of the filler plates.

While certain features of the present invention are more or less specifically described, I wish it understood that various changes may be resorted to-within the scope of the appended claims. Similarl that the various materials and finishes o the several parts employed may be such as the manufacturer may decide or varying conditions or uses may demand.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure by Letters Patent is i 1. A device of the character described, comprising a base member, said base member being circular-shaped in plan view, a cover member therefore, said cover member having an annular circular flange adapted to embrace the base member and to telescope over the same, and a filler disc interposed between the end the eever section to permit verticel edjustmemt efi the cover with relation to the bees.

2. A device on? the chereeter described, com rising e, bese ember, said base member ieimg (simmer-shaped in plan view, a cover member therefor, seid cover member hevimg 1111M circular flange adapted to embrace the base member and to telescope over the same, and a glurality of filler discs 10" interposed between t e base and the cover section to permit vertical adjustment of the cover with relation to the base, said discs being cut from a sound-deadening material.
